Soap Opera Ratings for the 2015-16 Season (final)

Published: September 23, 2016

Once upon a time, there were lots of soap operas on the networks’ daytime schedules. Most were cancelled over the years and only four remain — The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS), Days of Our Lives (NBC), General Hospital (ABC), and The Young and the Restless (CBS). How long will these four survive? That will likely have a lot to do with the ratings. Stay tuned.

Note: Each network measures its own programming’s success separately. Still, it’s fun to see how the four of them rank against each other.

I am seeing in searches, for new soap operas and on Facebook, that there are alot of us who would love to see a new soap opera come out!! We have DVRs and Soap channels etc now so you have the audience! Remind the not so tech savvy that they can record, watch online or at night on the soap channel and you would be good!

I have watched all of the above at some point in my life. But the only one I still watch is General Hospital! I record it everyday, have not missed one episode in 23 years. It is the only soap that has storylines that don’t carry on forever.

OMG……if I’m reading the ratings correctly, it isn’t looking good for GH. I hope I am wrong, because GH is the only one that I still watch!! Lord, I pray that they don’t take it off the air…..but with the way the show is going (in the story line) it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they did. I mean, my God….they just closed down the actual Hospital that the show is named after…..so what does that say for the show?!?!?!
